Their editorials are very nice. <br /><br />Lip Service <i>have</i> improved (though I has seen some 'wtf' pieces from them), but though I love the ridiculousness of nineties goth it made some ugly as hell stuff. Hell Bunny produce occasional gems, and I like their spin doctor label, but they're overall a little childish for me personally too (not that there's anything wrong with that!).

I'm guessing you mean Hellfire (which I've not been in in a <i>very</i> long time), as the other ones either stock generic 'trendy' stuff or the same old brands - I've not been in for a few months, however. Cyber is actually my favourite, as although it has a lot of terrible clothes it also has proper corsetry fitting, and some good small brand items. <br /><br />You speaketh for us both.

And I'm glad you feel the same way I do about what I've branded "typical Goth clothing". It's so annoying to open up five different Goth stores and see exactly the same brands, clothes and general likeness.SarahWalrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243585007593534381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492381592705349921.post-10666538061264869582014-07-06T09:06:01.045+01:002014-07-06T09:06:01.045+01:00Best brand name ever!

I'm a fan of the look. I've got one widow piece and i'm pretty happy with it.

They have 25% off everything this weekend, so I'm considering browsing their online shop. <br /><br />It's not just boring - it's abysmal. ;) I'm pretty sure most of their stock has been sitting there since the nineties!Fiona C. https://www.blogger.com/profile/05182195892673926740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492381592705349921.post-24561282119459849872014-07-05T15:47:31.963+01:002014-07-05T15:47:31.963+01:00Thank goodness that it wasn't just me!

I'm quite happy with that, as hopefully it will clue businesses in that we want them to keep up with us.

I got a chance to see the garments in person at a clothing show and I was impressed! <br /><br />We don't have any goth shops in Buffalo, but the ones that I have been to (when I travel) seem to be exactly what you are describing.
